I was trying to remove the air assist blue compression ring from the back of the machine housing and unfortunately the outer ring of the plastic piece snapped off. Can someone help me identify and locate a replacement piece so I can attach the air assist pump to the machine?

Thank you - I did see whole assemblies like that, but was hoping to just find the blue part. I’ll see if I can find a fitting like you linked to with faster shipping. I appreciate the help!

You need to replace the whole fitting, the blue part is not a part you can buy or replace. I have a bunch of this type of fitting in many flavors.

If you want shoot me a PM with a picture of the whole fitting that is broken and your address and I’ll send you one.

Looking at the pictures again that looks to be a 6mm push to connect bulkhead fitting. I am assuming it is the same on each side. 1/4” is close but depending on brand and tolerances may not grip a 6mm tube. You might get lucky harvesting that from another fitting but if it not the same brand it may not work or let loose.

If you have an industrial supply company near you such as Granger or Fastenal they may have that in stock. I purchased a large assortment of these P2C fittings on AliExpress a few months ago and I do have an extra one if you can’t find it easily.
